  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I was shocked to find out the GVWR on my new TE310 only allows for 178 pounds of rider and gear. I'm a little over 200 pounds. I'm a little disappointed, as I specifically asked the dealer if I should get the TE449 because of my size. Any other bigger guys riding 310s?
 
Re-spring the suspension, and you'll be money...

I'm around 235 all geared up, and am rocking a wr125, so If my bike can handle it, I'm pretty sure yours can.
 
Yeah don't worry about that, factory recomendations like that are purely to save their arses in American court rooms...that would rule out a "huge" group of riders...otherwise only light weights would rule th trails:)
 
I'm 280lbs stark nekkid (ie: add gear weight)... Stock springs. She rides pretty low (which is too tall for my short legs even still)

I'm not exactly catching major air (I get excited when I catch 6" of air), but the frame's rock solid and unbent. I'm not worried.
 
Mate I am 255 lbs, 6 foot and have stronger springs and coils and she is a beauty.
frame will easily handle your comparitively svelt like body.
 
6'-1", 235 w/o gear.... it did pretty well on it's first fast offroad desert romp, but is currently getting the boingers re-sprung, re-valved, etc.
